Yesterday, we visited a leprosarium. We ministered to the people through worship songs and food distribution (rice and canned food). During our worship, volunteer workers for the government came by to see what we were doing. They joined in our songs and it looked like they were having a greaet time.
When it came to the message, we were stopped by the head of the leprosarium because he didn’t want members of the government to tell officials what we were doing. We agreed to his plea, however, one of the volunteer workers asked why we were there. My dad simply told him, “because of the love of Jesus Christ.” This opened up another doorway for the gospel so we shared to him and the other workers, about Jesus Christ. They were very open and many of them accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Praise God for the breakthrough!
Immediately following our feeding, we prayed for two Christian families (there is a total of twenty-four in the area).
Looking back, I’m amazed at how the Lord has orchestrated this whole trip. Coming to Vietnam was a first for most of us and we weren’t sure exactly what plans God had and what ministries He had to offer. However, we walked by faith and God guided us the whole way.
Please lift up the Khuu family, Yvonne, and Mario as they return home to the U.S. Also, please pray for Mark, my dad, and I as we return to Palawan to minister to the Tau’t Bato. Praise God for His faithfulness! He has never let us down!
See you guys in two weeks!

The Tau't Bato
I just want to inform you all on our plans for the last week of the Philippines/Vietnam Mission Trip (August 10-16).
After our stay here in Vietnam, Mark, my dad, and I will be returning to the Philippines to visit the "people of the rock," better known as the the Tau't Bato. These people are the kinds of people you'd find in a National Geographic magazine. Yes, by that I mean people who are half naked, carry blow darts, eat snakes, and most importantly need to know about Jesus Christ and His love for them. I found some websites that'll give you information on these people and some articles of people who have made contact with them. Please be in prayer for us. I'll update you on the status of the trip.
